Watch this film, but do so with a box of tissues. The delight that never fades, the bliss that is eternal, is only yours when what you most desire is just out of reach". The best line, for me, is when Hopkins, as Lewis, is teaching his class and tells them that "The most intense joy lies not in the having, but in the desire. Some people may criticise such things as Debra Winger's accent and the fact that Douglas (Joseph Mazzello) should have had a brother in the film, but ignore them and let yourself be submerged in the sheer excellence of the film. No background knowledge of the life of CS Lewis is needed- just sit back and enjoy. I have told my family that I will kill them if they ever record over this film! It is beautiful. I didn't know that it was about CS Lewis, a little naive, you may say, but I just saw that it had a good rating in the TV guide and so I set the video to record it.
I watched this film as I'm a sucker for weepies.
